Anyone have over 50k miles?

On a 996 3.6liter? Any issues thus far or after 50k? and what are typical prices on service? Is it every 15k miles for oil changes? My dad has an 04 cayenne S and his manual says every 20k, but he does it every 10, and he does it himself thats why im wondering wat porsche services cost. Sorry if this type of thread has been posted before.

Mine is just over 50K. No problem so far. I drive hard on track, run and meet so I only change oil with Mobil-1 0-40w every 7500 miles $104.

I suggest

oil changes from 5-7K miles. run around $150

Minor service every 15K (oil change, fluid level checks, pollen filter) $270

Major service at 60K (Oil change, new belt, compression test, spark plugs, air filter, pollen filter, gear oil, fluid level checks) around $1000

Brake flush every two years $130

Most of this stuff could be done yourself to save some $. These are indy prices, dealership would be more

61K for me, and everything is tight and running great.

Newport, 150K is impressive, I am looking forward to driving my car that many miles!
